Fukiage Park,the Imperial Palace

The residences of feudal lords were formerly located here as protection on the west side of Edo Castle. However, the area was converted to a garden after the great fire of the Meireki Period in 1657. The garden was designed in exact detail, right down to the location of each stone and tree. There were apparently two waterfalls in the garden, one at the southern edge of Oike (Great Pond) in the centre of the garden and the other near Takimi Teahouse. Since there is foliage, this photograph probably depicts the waterfall near the teahouse. Probably taken between 1877 and 1887 (second decade of Meiji Period).==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:R.

Fukiage Park,the Imperial Palace

The 8th Shogun Tokugawa Yoshimune is said to have planted bamboo trees in Fukiage Garden located north of Hanzo-mon around 1725, a time when the shogunate was in dire financial straits. Bamboo was chosen because it is practical and abundant. The bamboo trees can still be seen today inside Hanzo-mon. Emperor Showa (1926-1989) used to enjoy digging up bamboo shoots here. Taken between 1877 and 1887 (second decade of the Meiji Period).==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:R. Stillfried, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number77‐6‐0]

The bamboo grove stretched to the right inside Hanzo-mon (gate) on the west side of Fukiage Garden. The photograph may have been taken around the same time as photograph #3937, because the shape of the bamboo trees is similar. The two men, probably gardeners, may be two of the three men portrayed in photograph #3937.
